This chart is a total disaster

Via
Bloomberg's Cory Johnson, this epic chart showing the decline
in the analyst expectations for Tesla's earnings is one of the
worst you'll ever see.

A year ago, Wall Street analysts expected the company to earn
about $2.00 per share on a GAAP basis (which includes any charges
or writedowns or other stuff the company might exclude from its
results).

Ahead of Tuesday's
third quarter earnings report, the Street expects Tesla will
LOSE $2.00 per share (on an adjusted basis — also called non-GAAP
and which excludes all the stuff mentioned above — tonight's loss
is expected to be $0.56 a share).
